Thanks for coming by, @fseizer.
I'll share the steps on how you can activate your QuickBooks file. First, you'll have to verify the system date and time settings are correct.
Next, contact our Customer Service Team to provide you with the activation key. Here's how:
- Go to Help at the top.
- Choose QuickBooks Pro/Premier.
- Tap Continue as guest and pick your product.
- Select Search for something else, and then type "Activation key" and then Search.
- Click Start a Message.
Once done, follow the steps below to enter the key.
- Go to the Help menu.
- Select About QuickBooks.
- On your keyboard, press Ctrl + R + P.
- Type in the Validation Code.
- Click Next to finish the activation.
I'm also attaching this link in case you encounter errors when you enter your product and license numbers, or your activation code in QuickBooks Desktop: Fix activation, license, and product numbers errors.
Please let me know how it goes as I wanted to ensure this is resolved for you. Take care and have a great day ahead.
